holiday; but all arranged to dine
wine, and sup in the evening where
o large sprinkllng knocked and de-
handed mirth to be admitted of her
crew. At one social evening, Meis-
sonler, the aged painter, created
quite sensation by jumping on the
table and singing the popular Bou-
LANCER ditty, "En Revenant de la
Revue" His execution was suill-
cient to make Paulu the original
minstrel, jealous. Munkacsy, who
whistles like a blackbird, offers to
accompany his brother artist at the
next concert for the Distressed
Painters Society.
The reported new departure of the
Pope in mundane and political, inn
parts a lively interest to his man
ners and customs. "Time is money"
appears to be the anxiom of his ex-
istence. This explain how difficult
it is to get an audience.
Many fideles after re
naming long time in Rome, fruit
lessly counting upon an interview,
return chagrined to the place from
whence they came, and bringing
away with them too theg fits intend
ed to be presented. And when His
Holiness resolves to hold o recep-
lonesome three hours OF duration
he is quite exhausted. Many OF
the favored are Italian parish
priests, who desire to make known
their local grievances; others are
missionaries going to some barbara
land, and desire 10 INDUCED In
"Morituri tn Salutant, and to have
a collection of relics blessed. Many
are contented with the view of Pope
even from a distance not few, who
approach HIM on their knees, are so
overcome with emotion, as to be un-
able to speak. A savant kneels and
presents copy of his work, all
bound in white parchment-that
being the Vatican binding for pre-
sentation volumes-and with the
papal arms in gold design ON the
cover. The most distinguished per-
sonages are generally received the
last, but by then His Holiness is SO
fatigued, that his medical attend
ant intervenes.
The Pope is cared for by his doc
tor as if he we're child, and often
| like a child, he too desires to be
Just let alone. When His Holiness
promenades in the Vatican, gardens
and park, Wallets are at hand to
throw a white mantle over him If
they notice any change of tempera-
ture, detect currents of air, or ar

his is delicate, though not a sickly
constitution. The Pope is proud of
his body guard of mobiles, splendid
and handsome aristocrats, and from
all parts of the world they look
superb in their brilliant uniforms.
| He takes an affectionate and per-
sonal interest in their family affairs,
and chats with them following their
tastes as to travel, agriculture,
painting. literature, hunting, &c.
On arriving at the entrance of the
private apartments, these guards
kneel and kiss the apostolic ring on
the Pope's finger.
His Holiness likes to be kept in
formed of what the outside world
think and talk of his policy. He
keeps his mind to himself, and fire.
quently when successful guess is
made of his intentions-the appoint
ment of the new secretary of state
for example, he feels annoyed at
having been forestalled in his secret
intentions. The Pope is fond of
gardening, and often demands the
impossible from horticulture. He
likes pets also; he has quite col
lection of canaries in his study; in
the park, he has peacock, guinea
hens, pheasants, parrots, &C., in
spacious cages. He has a magni-
flcent pet deer, which he daily feeds
through the railing with small loaf
of bread. Its antlers were magni-
fcient. The deer one day decided
to become ugly to every body; in
consequence comrade was secured;
but he refused to associate with
him, the Pope observed, it was not
surprising, the new conner was so
ugly. AT last the game-keeper was
butted to death. A few days later
the noble guards feasted on leg of
vension-contributed by the pet
stag.
